Chapter 530 Damn it, Someone Beat Me to It
"Sekhmet."
Ayato looked up and smiled. "How's it going? Everything smoothly?"
Hearing this, Sekhmet very naturally walked over and sat down beside Ayato.
An indescribable fragrance spread.
She languidly took Ayato's arm, a peculiar glint in her eyes.
"The enemies I encountered were all very weak. I had no problems."
Sekhmet chatted casually about what had happened during the day's activities.
But.
Feeling the shifting waves, Ayato's eyelids twitched.
Good grief.
If not for her movements growing bolder...
He might have actually believed she was just reporting mission details.
But.
She really was quite endowed.
As expected of one of the top among the Witches.
Ayato put down his magic book and adjusted his sitting posture.
How could he act timid in front of his own servant?
Sekhmet's gaze shifted downward, her pupils slightly contracting.
"Hiss."
She couldn't help but inhale sharply.
Why did it feel different from what she had read in books?
She wondered how Echidna had dealt with it.
Unconsciously.
She began to have second thoughts.
After all.
Despite having centuries of experience...
Regarding certain matters, she knew even less than an ordinary person.
But soon.
This thought was tossed out of her mind.
Opportunities like this were rare.
If she backed down now...
Who knew how long she'd have to wait.
Ayato smiled. "But don't be careless. There are still some powerful beings in this world."
"Whether it's your Balance Breaker or your Blessing, don't hesitate to use them when necessary."
Hearing this, Sekhmet was curious.
"Is there anyone Master can't handle?"
"Of course not."
"Hehe. Then there's nothing to worry about. If I can't win, I'll just come to you."
"Talking is fine, but keep your hands still."
"This is my latest application of Authority. Let me demonstrate for Master."
Unnoticed, the light of a teleportation circle had begun to flicker.
Early the next morning.
Sekhmet massaged Ayato's shoulders and said, "Master, how are my skills?"
"Much better than Echidna and the others, right?"
Ayato leaned back in his chair, resting his eyes. "Well... that's hard to say. It needs time to verify."
Sekhmet twitched her mouth, her eyes like silk as she glanced at Ayato.
Silently and imperceptibly.
The Authority of the Invisible Hand activated.
"Hmph, Master, my Authority still has many variations you don't know about."
"For example..."
Ayato opened his eyes, which lit up.
Multitasking.
This was quite impressive.
At dusk.
Utaha propped her chin on her hand, looking at the little ones waiting outside, her expression somewhat dazed.
She murmured softly, "Isn't that woman taking a bit too long?"
Echidna drank her coffee, her eyes deep, her body wriggling.
"I really... want to go upstairs."
Iris: "..."
What kind of wild words was this woman saying?
She had no doubt.
If not for some servant rules...
This woman would definitely do more than just talk.
And...
She involuntarily looked at the other witches.
"Goodness, Sekhmet actually beat us to it?"
"Damn it. Next one's for me, what do you all say?"
"Minerva, in your dreams."
"Everyone, don't fight..."
"Carmilla, don't act like you're not interested. Stop pretending to be the nice guy."
Listening to these women's conversation, the corner of Iris's mouth twitched.
Every single one of these women...
Was not normal.
Had she been too hasty in deciding to become a Devil?
Another two hours later.
Ayato and Sekhmet's figures finally came downstairs.
Sekhmet's gait was a bit unsteady, occasionally showing signs of pain.
But.
When she saw Echidna and the others, her chin immediately lifted.
"This woman..."
Echidna gripped her coffee cup tightly, her eyes sharpening.
Was she declaring war on her?
"Master."
With a cheer, Typhon struck first.
Her small frame hung on Ayato's arm, swinging back and forth. "Sekhmet is so mean. Next is..."
Looking Typhon over, then at himself...
This servant companion...
Was a bit too illegal.
"Don't overthink it. Master is very principled in this regard."
Sensing Iris's thoughts, Utaha said quietly. "Don't be fooled by Typhon's appearance."
"She herself is a Witch who has lived for over four hundred years. Don't compare yourself to her."
Iris: "..."
